What stands out in PSIL's data

A focused strategy tied to the psychedelics industry, within health and biotech.

Profitability sits in line with the typical health and biotech fund — but the ride has been brutal, and the fee is steep.

EBITDA margin of 20.5% matches the peer median. The fund has lost 92.6% from its peak over five years, and its 1.84% expense ratio is high.

A niche sleeve for a portfolio willing to bet on an early-stage medical sector.
